I can't get this working at all. Loaded through CKAN with Toolbar Controller. Tried ALT N to no avail. Any ideas?

I mouse over the stretch tank and press f. I can get a tiny width change but nothing big. Seems happy to make it thinner though. What am I doing wrong? Can change length no problem. Max width 0.625 m. EDIT: No problem, this is tied to career mode, read this a few pages back

Any chance of getting that typo changed?

After several issues with installing RSS which I have now sorted I can confirm that RSS v6 is working wonderfully and I have a great graphic of The Earth. May need to move the launch site though.

OK didn't know that. So that would mean removing other mods to make way for this one?

There's 10GB of RAM in this PC. You think it's more than that??

Took out the old RSS and installed this version but cannot load. KSP freezes at the loading screen. Anyone got any ideas (apart from reverting back to v5.5)? EDIT: Confirmed crash so reinstalled v5.5. Back to working fine.

You will need the mass of the planet in question, in kg (M) and the time it takes to rotate once on it's axis, in seconds (T) [this would be 86400s for Earth]. The formula will give you the radius of orbit from the centre of the planet, in metres (for altitude, you will need to subtract the radius of the planet from the answer). r^3 = 1.69E-12 (MT^2) Orbit needs to be equatorial and the same sense of rotation as the planet and, of course, circular. For Earth, this calculates out as 42 301 km. The radius of the earth is 6400km so the altitude would be 35 901 km above the surface of the planet.

Link doesn't work, at least for me.

Definitely works with another antenna attached so I conclude the built in Omni is not working.

Not working. I think it may be something to do with RSS.

Yes. This is under Remote Tech Squad Probes Here are the Remote Tech Settings: ConsumptionMultiplier = 0.1 RangeMultiplier = 10 ActiveVesselGuid = 35b89a0d664c43c6bec8d0840afc97b2 SpeedOfLight = 3E+08 MapFilter = Omni, Planet, Path EnableSignalDelay = False RangeModelType = Additive MultipleAntennaMultiplier = 0 ThrottleTimeWarp = True DishConnectionColor = 0.9960784,0.7019608,0.03137255,1 OmniConnectionColor = 0.5529412,0.5176471,0.4078431,1 ActiveConnectionColor = 0.6588235,1,0.01568628,1 GroundStations { STATION { Guid = 5105f5a9-d628-41c6-ad4b-21154e8fc488 Name = Mission Control Latitude = -0.021324 Longitude = -74.48444444 Height = 75 Body = 1 Antennas { ANTENNA { Omni = 7.5E+07 } } } }

OK fair enough. I have the tracking station on the launchpad and I still get no connection. What's going on?

I don't have a problem connecting when I add an antenna to the stayputnik. I have a big problem if I don't do that. I even moved the track station so it is exactly on my launch pad but still no connection unless I add an antenna to the stayputnik. KSC should easily have the range to connect to the omnidirectional (even before I moved the tracking station to the launch pad) so why will it not connect? The connection is green when attached to the launch clamp but not otherwise. The stayputnik has an omnidirectional antenna, always on, built into it. I suppose the obvious answer to this is the omnidirectional antenna in the stayputnik is actually non operational. That would explain everything. It actually says in the parts menu: Technology Perk Integrated Omni: 3 km (pretty sure this is a typo and it means 3 Mm) always on I guess this is not working.....

I tried doing this by changing the Remote Tech Settings to the coordinates of the current launch site. They are now precisely on top of each other and I still have no connection with the omnidirectional antenna in the stayputnik probe. Is there something else I should do to make the connection? I am now starting to think that the included Omni in the stayputnik for RT2 is actually non operational. This would explain everything.
